Adiantum pedatum
Pteridaceae
Just 18 inches tall, the Maidenhair Fern is the daintiest of all native ferns. The graceful fan-like fronds have wiry black stems, which wave in the wind. It does best in filtered light and well-drained, cool soil. Adequate moisture is needed to keep the frilly fronds in perfect shape during the growing season. This fern spreads fairly slowly by branching rhizomes and forms large colonies. Its delicate texture looks most beautiful when paired with broad leaf plants in the garden.
